Travel in style by hiring a car service to transport you and your desired guests to and from your wedding ceremony. Whether you and your bridal party want to travel in a limousine or you need to pack your whole family in a van or minibus, reserving transportation for your wedding day ensures that you won’t have to worry about your guest getting to the wedding safely. To have the best experience with your car service, here are some do’s and don’ts when making your reservation. 

Do:

Get a head count.

If you have a lot of out of town guests, then it would be courteous to offer them a means of transportation. When sending out your RSVP invitations, include a space where people can check a box if they need a car service to the wedding.

This would be especially convenient if someone has physical limitations and needs wheelchair transportation. If you are serving alcohol at your wedding, you could increase the number of cars you rent to give your guest another option for a designated driver. 

Get transportation for your wedding parties.

Renting limos or busses for your wedding party can add an extra level of fun to your big day. If you and your bridal party are getting ready together, you all can keep the party going by piling into your rented limo to your ceremony. If you're not getting ready with your party, reserving a car service will ensure that everyone gets to the venue at the right time.  

Don't:

Book your transportation last minute.

Make your reservation with your car service as soon as you have your venue, date, and a confirmed guest list. If your wedding is during prom season—April through May—try reserving your vehicles as soon as possible. If you wait, you might not get the vehicles you want or enough of them to accommodate your wedding. 

Skimp on a quality service.

Research transportation services in your area to find a quality service that is licensed and insured. When you choose a service, read your rental contract carefully so you aren’t charged with hidden fees or outrageous overtime rates or cancellation policies. Also, check to see if they have a build-in gratuity charge or if you will have to tip your drivers yourself.
